LES Applications in the Cardio-Vascular System

Elias Balaras, University of Maryland

Introduction
Methodologies

• solution strategies
• an embedded-boundary method with adaptive mesh refinement for LES
• grid topology
• prolongation and restriction operators
• temporal integration scheme
• a direct forcing scheme based on moving least squares
• fluid-structure interaction and summary of the algorithm
• validation and examples

• flows in stenotic arteries
• treatment of heart valve disease: design of surgical procedures and implant using LES
